To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will list the items that exporters were fined by HMRC for unlicensed export of under the Export Control Order 2008 from March to November 2021.
Information on HMRC enforcement outcomes is published in the Strategic Export Controls Annual Reports. In line with the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005, HMRC cannot list the items that were exported, because to do so would disclose information about an identifiable ‘person’. However, HMRC can confirm that the items were either military rated or dual use goods.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what data his Department holds on the number of penalties issued for non compliance with IR35 regulations.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what data his Department holds on the number of penalties issued for non compliance with IR35 regulations.
HMRC cannot provide data that might disclose details about identifiable taxpayers. Following the 2017 reform of the off-payroll working rules in the public sector and the extension of this reform to medium and large-sized businesses outside the public sector from April 2021, HMRC undertakes compliance checks to ensure compliance with the rules.
HMRC has committed to taking a light touch approach to penalties in the first year of the reform. This means that unless there is evidence of deliberate non-compliance organisations will not have to pay penalties for mistakes relating to the off-payroll working rules made during the first year, regardless of when mistakes are identified. However, organisations will need to pay any tax due as a result of any errors identified. Where HMRC does impose a penalty for ‘careless’ behaviour, they will always consider whether that penalty can be suspended.

Where HMPPS is unable to facilitate the delivery of education in England there are payment mechanisms in the contract to ensure that suppliers are not financially disadvantaged. Prison education in Wales is a devolved responsibility of the Welsh Government.
We are in regular communications with education suppliers to ensure relationships continue to be managed well and that their key questions are answered.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of (a) court fines and (b) surcharges remain uncollected; and what steps he is taking to increase the rate of collection for those penalties.
We are not able to provide information on the proportion of the original fines and victim surcharge that remains outstanding for without incurring disproportionate cost. In order to extract this information we would need to conduct a manual search of all current financial penalty accounts within our fines database. Figures for the total amount of outstanding fines are published and can be found here
This Government takes recovery and enforcement of financial impositions very seriously and remains committed to finding new ways to ensure impositions are paid and clamping down on fine defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. The courts will do everything within their powers to trace those who do not pay. Money can be deducted from an offender's earnings or from benefits if they are unemployed. Other ‘upfront’ compliance actions include, increased use of telephone and text message chasing and use of tracing tools. Warrants can be issued instructing approved enforcement agents to seize and sell goods belonging to the offender. Ultimately an offender can be imprisoned for non-payment of their fine.
Targeted initiatives to improve enforcement of financial penalties include the recent historic debt project. This project which commenced in September 2016 resulted in the re-working of accounts which had previously been administratively cancelled. As of November 2018, £34.3 million has been collected as a result of this project. Lessons learnt from the Project have been incorporated into business as usual processes within NCES.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of fines imposed in North Wales under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 have been successfully collected in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of fines imposed in North Wales under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 have been successfully collected in each of the last five years.
Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service systems capture data on the total amount of financial imposition but do not break that information down by offence type. It is not therefore possible to provide the information requested without incurring disproportionate cost. A manual search of all current financial penalty accounts would be required for the period specified to determine the number of fines imposed in North Wales under the Environment Protection Act 1990 and the proportions of these successfully collected.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justcie, how much money has been obtained in fines from people found guilty of an offence of illegal working since the introduction of that offence.
Centrally held court proceedings data indicates that no offenders were found guilty of illegal working up to the end of 2016. Court proceedings data for 2017 will be available in May 2018.
It is not possible to identify how much has been collected in fines from persons convicted of this, or any other, offence as our systems enable us to capture the total amount of financial imposition but do not allow that to be broken down by offence type. To extract information on financial imposition by offence type we would need to conduct a manual search of all current financial penalty accounts within our fine database.
